"This, this won’t do. We signed a ten-year contract, and I’ve only been open for a year. The renovation cost millions. How can you terminate the contract unilaterally?"
Pang Da’s face drastically changed as he anxiously looked towards Pang Dahai.
Pang Dahai shrank back. He was an employee of Tianhong Group, and although he was the general manager of Tianhong International Plaza, in front of Li Xiangui and Li Libai, he was just a subordinate. He probably would be implicated himself; he had no mind to care about Pang Da’s life or death.
"The contract clearly stipulates that all rchants in Tianhong International Plaza must not engage in unauthorized operations or violate laws and regulations. Now that you are suspected of fraud, Tianhong Group has the right to terminate the contract with you. If you disagree, we can et in court."
Li Xiangui declared resoundingly.
"Pang Da, you better not make a scene. You know very well how you managed to lease this store. Don’t force us to investigate thoroughly."
Just when Pang Da wanted to say sothing else, Li Libai glanced at Pang Dahai and coldly warned him.
"You little rascal, shut up right now. Dare to backtalk the chairman, and I’ll flay you alive." Hearing this, Pang Dahai imdiately glared fiercely at Pang Da.
Pang Da was his nephew. Initially, he had used underhanded tactics to secure this popular store location for Pang Da at a very low price. If this were to be investigated, his trouble would be significant.
"Young Master Tang, are you satisfied with this arrangent?"
Li Xiangui looked at Tang Ming with a nervous expression.
"It’s okay."
Tang Ming nodded slowly, slowly standing up, "Ladies, we should also go ho and study."
"Alright, it’s getting late. Ti to go ho for dinner."
Liu ngting nodded, having no objections.
"Young Master Tang, do you still want to take the prizes you found here?" Li Libai looked uncertainly at Tang Ming. These items ant nothing to the current Tang Ming, so he wasn’t sure if Tang Ming was still interested.
"Of course we do."
Before Tang Ming could speak, Li Xiaoli shouted first, "We paid for the tickets, so naturally, the treasures we found should belong to us."
"Right, right, right, soone, quickly bring all the prizes over."
Pang Dahai hurriedly called to the staff.
As the prizes were brought over, Pang Da felt like dying. These items together were worth only about a hundred thousand, but because he was reluctant to give them up, he had tried to be deceitful. He hadn’t expected Tang Ming’s background to be so strong that even the chairman sought to please him. Not only did he lose the prizes, but his shop was also going to be compensated for his losses. It was truly a case of losing more by trying to save a little.
While Xia Wei’er and Liu ngting were distributing the gifts, Xiao Bai Bai, who had been missing for a while, suddenly jumped into Li Xiaoli’s arms, holding a set of rcedes car keys in his mouth.
"Eh, this is..."
Li Xiaoli was stunned for a mont, quickly pulled out the castle map, and, comparing it with the photo, exclaid excitedly, "Wow, the first prize is found! The key model is exactly the sa as in the photo, we found the rcedes."
"Is it?"
Liu ngting and Xia Wei’er hurried forward to check, finding that the key Xiao Bai Bai found was indeed exactly like the one in the photo.
"Manager Pang, we found the first-class treasure, give the rcedes!"
Li Xiaoli held up the key excitedly, looking at Pang Da.
"How is this possible?"
Pang Da looked utterly baffled—the car keys had been left in his office drawer, so how did they end up in Li Xiaoli’s hands?
"Since you are open for business, you should honor your commitnts. Hurry up and give the car, which is the first-class prize, to Miss Xiaoli."
Fearing that Pang Da might say sothing else offensive, Li Xiangui commanded unquestionably.
"The car is outside; just take it away."
With a pained expression, Pang Da waved his hand; this ti, he had taken a big loss, losing over three hundred thousand.
"Great, now I have a rcedes-Benz," exclaid Li Xiaoli.
Li Xiaoli was the first to rush outside to find the black rcedes-Benz displayed in the square.
Liu ngting and Xia Wei’er, holding their spoils of war, quickly followed her.
"Thanks to Director Li and Young Master Li, I will head back first."
Smiling, Tang Ming nodded to the Li father and son and then left.
"Whew..."
After Tang Ming and others had left, Li Xiangui let out a long sigh of relief. What was supposed to be an opportunity to please Tang Ming had almost turned into a situation where his subordinates offended Tang Ming; it was terrifying.
Pang Dahai and Pang Da stood together, looking uneasy. They both knew they had caused trouble but couldn’t understand what capabilities that student possessed that made the currently prominent Li father and son in Songlan City so fearful.
Considering that the Li family is now a shareholder of Tangming Group, which is the most profitable company in Songlan City, and with two Martial Arts families involved, as partners, the Lis’ status had risen—there was no reason to fear a few students!
"Pang Dahai," Li Xiangui glared at Pang Dahai with clenched teeth.
"Chairman, I, I really didn’t know the young master’s identity, who is he, exactly?"
Pang Dahai looked awkwardly at Li Xiangui; now that Tang Ming and the others had left, he felt that Li Xiangui would probably not go as far as closing Pang Da’s shop; a show of action should be enough.
"He’s your uncle, you blind fool," said Li Xiangui irritably as he glared at Pang Dahai, teeth clenched. "You’re fired. Co settle your wages with finance tomorrow. Those shares you hold in Tianhong International Plaza, the company will buy back at double the price. I never want to see you again."
"Ah? Chairman, isn’t this a bit too severe?"
Upon hearing this, Pang Dahai’s complexion changed drastically. His current position granted him many privileges; all rchants in the Tianhong International Plaza courted him, offering money and won. If he lost his position, he would no longer be able to enjoy these powers.
"Heh, it seems you still don’t understand whom you’ve offended. Well, I can’t be bothered to explain, but in any case, you’re fired, and Opportunity Castle is permanently closed. Additionally, the group will bear the loss of that rcedes-Benz, compensating your nephew." Li Xiangui said coldly, then turned and walked away.
The guards trembled as they kept retreating; fortunately, their positions were minor, and they always obeyed orders, or else they too would have been out of a job today.
"Ah! My Li family was almost destroyed by you two," sighed Li Libai, looking coldly at the Pang uncle and nephew. "The company will not pursue those disgraceful acts you two have committed over the years. I hope you nd your ways and don’t cause trouble, or you will bear the consequences."
"Young Director, who exactly is that student?"
Pang Dahai looked ashen and couldn’t help but inquire about Tang Ming’s identity.
"The Martial Arts families of the Zhou and Ma in Songlan City hold him in high regard. What do you think?"
Li Libai gave Pang Dahai a glance and turned to walk away.
